In the middle of the night, Mrs. Li lay on the bed and looked at the small bruise on her husband's arm, feeling funny and helpless at the same time......

After smearing a little bone-setting wine, thinking that it was Li Cheng just now, he couldn't help but smile, "This girl, she doesn't have a serious start!" This reminds me of Xiaochen's girl! ”

Mrs. Li also smiled: "She is just like this between you and me, this girl has been abandoned by her parents since she was a child, maybe in her heart she really regards us as her relatives." And don't you see? Although this girl called her brother, her feelings for the stupid boy in her heart had already changed. ”

"How can you not see this! The last time that kid went to the brothel, the girl cried all night, and today I just said casually, this girl pinched me with such a heavy hand, this is already a clear thing! ”

Mrs. Li asked, "Did he reply to the letter you wrote to Ye Chen's old guy last time?"

"Come back, Brother Ye still doesn't agree! He said that if the two of them recognized each other privately, he would take the girl away and let the two of them never see each other for the rest of their lives. ”

After hearing this, Mrs. Li complained: "I don't know what this old guy thinks, it's not a good mandarin duck!"

"Who's to say it isn't! Alas...... Never mind! Let's rest early, it's not too early, and we'll talk about this later. Faced with such a situation, Li Cheng was also at a loss......

After a night, the account books of more than a dozen pharmacy stores in the city have all been sent to the county office, and the thick account books are almost piled up in the entire study...... These pharmacies in the city were really a little too cooperative, and they just asked them to hand over the account books, but they actually handed over all the account books from a few years ago, or even more than ten years ago!

Sorting out the account books with Liu Zhixian, Shen Huan looked at Song Shi, who was eating melons and watching the play, and felt a little unbalanced, "I said you can also come over to help!" I didn't see so much work on our part here! It's almost too busy! ”

"What's the matter with me, I won't solve the case, I'm just here to see the fun."

"You can help me sort and find out the account books of the last year!"

"But I can't read!"

Song Shi almost choked Shen Huan to death with these words, and it was also to blame that he was really busy and fainted, and he even forgot about Song Shi's illiteracy! Seeing that Song Shi was still nibbling on the apple in his hand, Shen Huan felt for the first time that being illiterate was actually sometimes good......

In the face of this mess in front of him, the entire Jiangyin County Ya was busy all morning, and it was only when it was time to eat at noon that he eased up a little, but just when Liu Zhixian put a piece of meat in his mouth, the Dengwen drum outside the door actually sounded!

"Who the fuck is this! I don't let people stop! Fucking knock when eating! Fuck the X! ”

Liu Zhixian became popular when he landed! As soon as he threw the bowl on the table, he rushed out, ran to the door of the county office, pointed at the nose of the drummer just now, and scolded: "Are you sick?" Can you stop the meeting at noon? If you don't eat, others will eat! ”

When the drummer saw Liu Zhixian like this, he was stunned all of a sudden, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. Seeing that he didn't speak, Liu Zhixian's anger in his heart became a little stronger, "I said you have something to do!" Are you here to entertain yourself? Come! Drag this guy down and hit the twenty boards again! ”

Maybe he heard that Liu Zhixian was going to beat himself, and the drummer finally reacted now, and hurriedly said: "Master, please stop being angry!" Students don't mean to! The student is here to surrender! ”

"Surrender? What to vote for? ”

"The case of Miss Gu Jia's murder! It was made by the students themselves! "The drummer is amazing!

"Huh?! You repeat! Liu Zhixian was taken aback after hearing this! I can't believe my ears!

"It was I who killed Gu Caidie with my own hands! (Miss Gu's name)"

"You wait!"

At this time, Liu Zhixian's appetite had completely disappeared, and after informing Shen Huan, he changed into an official uniform, brought the drummer to the lobby, and asked him about the details......

The name of the drum beater is Chu Jian, but he is a scholar in Jiangyin City, Shen Huan has heard of this person, and it seems that he is still one of the Jiangyin scholars who entered Beijing to take the exam a few years ago! If Shen Huan is not mistaken, this Chu Jian should be thirty-two years old this year, because he has repeatedly failed in the imperial examination, and now he has given up entering the office, and like himself, he makes a living by teaching writing and writing in the city.

Liu Zhixian asked Chu Jian, "Chu Jian, tell the truth about how you killed Gu Caidie!"

"I strangled her with a rope, then skinned her and hung her from the beams of the new house......

Listening to everything Chu Jian said, Liu Zhixian's eyes radiated with excitement, he really didn't expect that pies could really fall from the sky, and they would fall on his head at once! I was still worried about solving the case, but I didn't expect this real murderer to turn himself in! It's a lot of work! At that moment, he was shocked and asked Chu Jian to sign a confession and put him in prison.

After retiring, Liu Zhixian was in a good mood! hurriedly beckoned the cook to add a few more good dishes, but just as he was about to enjoy the food again, he was interrupted by Shen Huan again......

"Uncle Liu, you don't think this Chu Jian is really the murderer, right?"

"Isn't it? He admitted it himself! And you also heard it just now, what he said is the same as the results of our on-site investigation, if he is not the murderer, how can he tell this case in such detail? ”

"But didn't you notice the flaw in his words just now?"

"What's the flaw?" Liu Zhixian asked.

"Do you remember what you said when you asked Chu Jian how to kill Miss Gu Family? At that time, he said that the deceased was strangled to death with a rope, but the fact was that Miss Gu was first poisoned and skinned before being hung on the beams of the house! It's not that he said he was strangled! I heard that there were many people at the scene at that time, including the servants of the Gu family, as well as the fast catchers in the yamen, etc., maybe the crowd watching the excitement at the door also saw the scene of the scene, and anyone could leak the situation at that time, so it was not difficult to know what the scene was at that time! And the fact that Miss Gu was poisoned by arsenic was confirmed by me when I conducted an autopsy in the yamen, and not too many people knew, if it was really the murderer who turned himself in, how could he Chu Jian not know that the deceased was poisoned? ”

"This!" Liu Zhixian was shocked! He was so excited to see Chu Jian surrender in front of him that he forgot this detail!

"If you don't say it, I really forgot! At that time, he explained so smoothly that I didn't even pay attention! But what's going on? If he didn't kill anyone, why should he admit that he did it? Liu Zhixian asked.

"I'm going to ask him...... I think there must be a big hidden secret...... "Without delay, Shen Huan and Liu Zhixian immediately went to prison.

In the dim cell, Chu Jian leaned against the corner, sitting silently in the corner alone, as if crying, opened the cell door Liu Zhixian called him a few times before he reacted.

"Master, what are you doing?" Chu Jian asked towards Liu Zhixian.

"Nothing, just something I want to ask you."

"What else is there to ask, isn't your verdict already down?"

Chu Jian didn't seem to want to say more, seeing him like this, Shen Huan took over and said, "Brother Chu, we came here this time to ask, we just want to know what is the relationship between you and Miss Gu?" Why do you hate her so much? I had to kill her on her wedding night. ”

Chu Jian smiled sadly, "I don't hate her, in fact, I love her...... She and I met in the Gu family, and since I failed many times, I have been responsible for reading and writing for Caidie in the Gu family since the year before. Caidie is very talented, and she can learn quickly no matter what I teach. She is also very beautiful, like a fairy in the sky......"

In fact, this is a very cliché story, which is nothing more than the love story of an older scholar and a rich lady who have fallen behind for a long time. The two people fell in love with each other, but they were forcibly separated by the wealthy family due to family background and many other reasons, and then the two could only look at each other across the wall, and their eyebrows were lovesick.

"I was kicked out of the Gu family by Uncle Gu that day, and before I left, I told Fluttershy that I would definitely scrape together enough money to marry her! Fluttershy promised me at the time, but I didn't expect that just as I had saved up enough money to come to my door, Uncle Gu suddenly married him to another person! I go to Fluttershy to ask about it, but she tells me that I forgot about her...... I can't accept it! Why did she betray me! Betray our oath! Since we can't be with her in this life, let's go to Huangquan to get together! That's why I killed her......"

After listening to Chu Jian's story, Shen Huan did not feel sorry for him, let alone sympathize with him, but had a very annoying feeling! He'd been listening to it for so long, and he had finally figured out something! This Chu Jian is like the male protagonist in a certain aunt's TV series, he has to die and live for a woman! This guy is actually here to do the so-called martyrdom!

Although he already knew Chu Jian's purpose, it was not so easy to get him out, at that time, Liu Zhixian was sentenced too quickly and had already put him on death row, and now he can only be retracted to end this farce completely! But the problem is that Shen Huan also knows that people with this kind of bloody view of love basically belong to the lack of roots in their brains, and if they want this kind of person to turn back, they must think of a way......

Thinking about Chu Jian's words just now and his family background, Shen Huan had an idea! Staring at Chu Jian's eyes, he said, "I can see that you love her very much." You may not know it, but she has always loved you! Even the moment before she got married, she was thinking about you! Do you know? We found a pair of mandarin duck embroidery under the pillow of her new house, with your and her name embroidered on it, and it can be seen from the traces that she was still embroidering on the night she left the pavilion......"

"I ......"

Pushing forward, Shen Huan blocked Chu Jian's words back, and his voice gradually rose higher, "If you took her away at that time, maybe she would have promised you to wander the world with you, but you flinched." When she marries someone else, you hate because of love, and think she betrayed love! You strangled her when she put on her wedding dress and waited until the last moment for the person who should really take her away! You know how sad she must have been! Do you know how painful it is to be killed by a loved one! ”

"Don't say it, I killed it." Chu Jian's expression did not show the slightest wave, and he just said lightly......

Shen Huan looked at him, was silent for a while, lowered his voice and continued: "As far as I know, you also have a mother at home, right?" Have you ever wondered what your mother would do if you died? You think about your gray-haired old mother, who worked hard to raise you to adulthood, and in the end you were in a different place and accused of being a murderer, have you thought about how to live without her? Will you be bullied by your neighbors? Will I die with you in a heartbroken state? ”

This sentence seemed to hit Chu Jian's death hole, looking at his trembling body, Shen Huan paused, his voice suddenly pulled to the highest, and pointed at Chu Jian and suddenly shouted fiercely and asked, "Bold Chu Jian!" How the hell do you kill people, bring me the truth! ”

At this time, Chu Jian's psychology had already slackened, and in the face of Shen Huan's loud questioning, he instinctively straightened his neck and blurted out: "I didn't kill anyone!"

Hearing this, Shen Huan patted him on the shoulder with a smile, his purpose was finally achieved, "Chu Jian, you are also a scholar, you must also know that it is intolerable to be used as a testimony in the court!" Say, why do you have to admit that you killed someone? ”

Chu Jian opened his mouth, and only then did he realize that he had fallen into Shen Huan's trap, even if it was too late to change his words now......

Seeing that Chu Jian was silent, Shen Huan thought for a while and continued: "You don't want to say that I don't force you, it's just that I have a question I want to ask you." Do you know the Gu family's uncle? Since you are rivals in love, you should know him well, right? Don't tell me you don't know anything about him! ”

Chu Jian was silent for a long time, as if he was hesitating about something, but he finally spoke: "The Gu family's aunt is called Tang Zhong, I don't know much about him, few people have talked to me about him, I only know that he came from Xianyang, and he got in touch with the Gu family soon after coming here, and I don't know what reason Uncle Gu actually gave him his promise!"

"From Xianyang? That's really far enough, could he be some relative of the Gu family? Do you know what he used to do to make a living? Shen Huan asked again.

"I don't know if it's a relative, and I've never heard of anyone talking about it, but I know he used to be a beekeeper."

"Bees?"

Shen Huan's mind immediately thought of the little honey on the collar of the deceased, could this have anything to do with this case?
